This is the person who needs to hear concerns about the brooklyn banks closing. If you have time and could send him an e-mail or call (if you really have time). I was told that if enough people call/email in then they will realize how important this spot is to the NYC "action sports" community. Regardless of what happens down there(and I will have updates this week) the more people that contact him the better chance we have of making sure that any work done near/at skate spots is done in a manner that keeps the community that uses the space in mind.
The new e-mail address to send your concerns to is:

Beside the technical aspects, all the POC protection have a very high comfort level. The kneepads will not burn your knees off during bike riding, and they do not “irritate”. It is a pleasure to wear POC protection. Besides that, the protection looks also great and clean! POC international sponsored a few great athletes.
